DOLLY   AND   MOLLY 

AND 

THE  FARMER  MAN 

Went  Dolly  and  Molly, 
one    fine    summer    day, 

To  watch  while  the  farmer 
man  made  the  new  hay.

And  a  beautiful  basket  of 
luncheon  they  took, 

All  wrapped  in  white  nap- 
kins by  Mary  the  cook. 


He  whetted  his  scythe. 

Oh,  the  big  noise  it  made ! 
And  he  cut  down  that  hay, 

each  spear  and  each  blade.

The  Grasshoppers  hoppered, 
and  gazed  in  surprise. 

You  ought  to  have  seen  how 
they  stuck  out  their  eyes!

He  took  a  big  fork  and  he 
spread,  all  around, 

That  sweet-smelling  hay  on 
the  sunshiny  ground.

And    the    Hoppy    Toads 
blinked   sadly,    saying, 
"Oh,  well, 

We  shall  just  have  to  move 
to  the  Burdock  Hotel."

Then  he  raked  it  in  long 
rows,  and  left  it  to  dry, 

While  they  all  ate  their  lunch 
'neath  a  big  tree  near  by.

And  the  Robin  came  too, 
saying,  "Please  give  me 
some," 

So  Dolly  and  Molly  each 
gave  him   a   crumb.

Then  the  man  tossed  the  hay 
in  a  great  shiny  heap, 

And  put  on  its  night  cap, 
and  left  it  to  sleep. 


Then  a  black  and  gold  Bum- 
blebee   bumbled    along, 

Saying,  "It's-time-little- 
girlies-were-home-where- 
they-b'long."

So  Dolly  and  Molly,  all  tired 

with  play, 
Just  followed  the  Bumblebee 

home  all  the  way. 


And  Grandmother  gave  them 
some  milk  and  some  bread, 

And  lovingly  kissed  them 
and  put  them  to  bed.

And  the  sleep  fairies  came 
to  that  little  white  room, 

And  sprinkled  them  over 
with  sleep  flower  bloom.

And  that  was  the  end  of 
that  beautiful  day, 

When  the  twins  watched 
the  farmer  man  make 
the  new  hay.
